Understanding Prehistoric and Ancient Human Societies

Almost everything you thought you knew about the history of the ancient world is wrong: the origins of civilization, the pyramids, agriculture and science, is not in Greece and Rome but Sumer and Akkad.

The Sumerians gave us the earliest known records and began a cycle of recording history in written form. The pyramids were designed with architecture and astronomy in mind. The builders of the pyramids used sophisticated techniques to create these wonders.
